“Come On, Eileen” by Dexy’s Midnight Runners. Fucking hate it. Mainly for the video, but also because it is horrible.

Oh shit am I the camel?

A pint of Ben & Jerry’s. Doesn’t even really matter what flavor. (I will be eating one later tonight.)

Just got home from it, overall really enjoyed it. I’ll agree with the other comments that the ending could have ended sooner.

At least they’re still making letting them work the other 2 days from home.

A couple of my favorites, in no particular order…

Dessa - Mineshaft II Dessa writes some of the most evocative, lyrically dense songs I’ve ever heard.

The Gits - Guilt Within Your Head The Gits were a Seattle-based punk rock band that were poised to blow up big in the early 90s. Tragically, lead singer Mia Zapata was murdered just 4 days after they signed their first major contract.

Titus Andronicus - (I’m) Screwed A long-running and critically acclaimed hard rock band that’s avoided finding mainstream success. One of the best live acts I’ve seen.

It’s #14.

Also, I know these trash lists either include or exclude things specifically to be controversial and generate conversation, but seriously…The Lives of Others isn’t on a list of ‘best movies involving surveillance?’ Really?

Revolution Lover, came up in random in my Spotify. It’s a catchy tune.

My mentor at work is back from a two week vacation. Looking forward to catching up with him and asking for training on some very specific tasks because I’m 99% certain he’s going to announce his retirement before the end of the year.

Also, looking forward to the North London Derby this weekend (just watching, not attending). International football doesn’t carry my interest at all, for some reason.

Looks like we found the real owner.

The AC in my bedroom stopped working last week, but the overnight temps also just dropped down into the 60s, so I can still sleep comfortably with an open window.

Still in a Football Manager hole. Wildly vacilating between trying to perfect my own tactic, reading up on published tactics to see how well I compare, worrying that I’ve done something unrealistic or exploitive, trying to institute a reasonable wage structure that guarantees long-term financial growth and a playing pathway for my squad players, and throwing it out the window to sign a superstar free agent who popped up in my scouting reports.

Will probably end up reloading my save from last season and starting over because I’m not happy with how my summer transfers went.

Goddamn Oprah better not bring us the AI version of Dr Phil…or the AI version of Dr Oz…or the AI version of any of the quack nutjob grifters she platformed during her career, really.

Cocaine

Taking today and tomorrow off work for a volunteer engagement. Completely forgot Monday is Labor Day. Surprise 5 day weekend!

“Too much” ruins a burger. If I take a bite and a bunch of crap squeezes out of the backside of the bun, it’s a problem.

Ha, barely. The situation was closer to Roseanne than Full House, but I enjoyed it.

Also, true story, shortly after I moved out one of my younger brother’s friends moved into the guest room because of drama at home and our family gave him enough structure to straighten up and complete high school. It is exactly what would happen after my character got written out of the sitcom in season 4 and a beloved guest character got promoted to the regular cast…

Not a movie, but there was a period of time when my parents’ house had them living upstairs, my older brother, his wife, and their young son living in the converted basement, and me temporarily staying in a guest bedroom after I had just gotten out of the Army. And we all worked at the family pizza restaurant together.

It was the perfect TGIF sitcom scenario.
